Nabil Fekir is living his best days as a player of the Betis. In his third year with the Verdiblanca shirt, the French international feels that the team has taken a step forward and that he is the beacon of that good team that responds to the name of Betis. Has not missed a match to date, despite the voracious rotations of his coach. He wears the number 8 on his back, but he behaves and play ten. No Channels -injured- it will touch him more if it is possible to take the baton of the Andalusian team in the second European day.
It will not be a problem for Fekir, who escapes a smile in every game he plays with this new Betis. Since Manuel Pellegrini find the perfect formula so that the offensive torrent of the team does not lead to a certain defensive weakness -only three defeats in all of 2021-, the march of the green and white team is practically unstoppable. He left some points at the start of the League, although he has already found the path of victories, despite the defensive losses he has had to endure. And now your second european party, where a victory would place him in a privileged position before the double duel against the Bayer Leverkusen, the toughest opponent in the group. And all from the hand of a Fekir who takes only one goal -the one scored against Espanyol- in eight games, but touching the goal and assisting his teammates in more than one afternoon.
A relationship for long
MARCA announced last Tuesday the open talks between Betis and Fekir to extend your contractual relationship, which ends in 2023. The president of Betis himself, Angel Haro, confirmed the news before leaving for Budapest: “He is doing magnificently well, he is a world champion with tremendous quality. When you see him move with the ball stuck to his foot you know it’s going to do you a genius. We are starting to talk. Every time I talk to him he is very happy here and there is a positive predisposition“.
Fekir is keen to extend his stay at Betis. He is happy, he feels like a leader and the team responds to his sporting aspirations on the grass. Europe knocks on your door. The magician is ready.
